Regarding Future Fords....

Hmm. Motor Trend listed for '05 at least two Ford's that I haven't seen anywhere else- the Fusion and the Fairlane/Galaxie they really going to come out in 05?

Why don't we hear anything about them????

The fusion I have heard of, cant say that I know anything about it but have heard of it. The fairlane nameplate would be real cool so long as it turns out right. Maybe a replacement for the crownvic?? or better yet a hi po version, think maurader but 5.4 or even 6.8 powered. Galaxy? Maybe a hi po taurus or replacement taurus, would be cool.

i don't know why they are getting rid of the taurus because it has been a good car for them and has sold damn good. This change all at once thing sounds like a bad idea cuase a lot of kinks will have to be worked out on the cars that will be coming out.

I'd like them as long as they didn't screw them up. But you guys know how that usually goes. That El Camino incident anyone (that Australian car)?

Well, some genius at Ford Motor Company has handed down the order that all Ford-model cars must begin with "F," and all Mercury models will begin with "M." So, it's Ford Five-Hundred, Mercury Montego, Ford Fusion, Mercury Monterey, etc... Makes you wonder what's next:

the Ford Fiasco (new name for the 6.0 diesel, perhaps?)

the Mercury Mistake.....

any other suggestions?

As of right now, as of the Dallas/Ft Worth Auto Show on 7 Feb, ford has 9 read that 9 vehicles that are either NEW or been redone enough to count as a new vehicle, some of them are
Mustang
500
GT-40
Bronco (yes, they listed it as a 05 concept, good possibilty of it coming out, even if it is ugly as sin IMHO)
hmmmm they had alot more but do not have all the catalogs I ollected there the fairmont/galaxie where not mentioned I believe.
